Be sure to check out Cal's XL Athlete site. You do have to register but its free and he has all kinds of great programs, exercise videos, and more. Here are links to a couple of my favorites he discusses in the interview and in the videos above.

Single Leg Isometric Deadlift - absolutely brutal, but effective!

Bulgarian Dumbbell Squat Oscillatory - great example of an oscillatory technique for speed

I'm throwing this video in just because its so damn impressive. 600 lb squat and stops on a dime in the hole. I believe this is the thrower he was talking about in the interview.
